      MONITORING AND OBSERVABILITY

      SolarWinds Observability is a full-stack, AI-powered solution that offers two deployment options: Self-hosted and SaaS. With the continued expansion of network and infrastructure capabilities in the SaaS option and the continued expansion of cloud capabilities in the self-hosted option, both offerings can provide end-to-end hybrid visibility. They also include overlapping capabilities and interconnectivity, giving IT teams and the organizations they support the flexibility to observe complex environments however they want.
